Hard Chrome Plating

At Firma-Chome our fully automated hard chrome plant can produce flash hard chrome coatings of smooth, bright or satin finish; with a thickness of up to 50 microns.

Hard chrome, also known as industrial chrome or engineered chrome, is used to reduce friction, add wear resistance and increase corrosion protection.

A hard, low friction,  wear and scratch resistant metal coating up to 50 micron (.002”) thick. Ideal for cutting and slicing blades, sharpening steels, pistons, drill bits and heavy duty electrical contacts

It is also used for anti-galling and anti-fretting purposes on ‘stainless steel to stainless steel’ applications. Our automatic plant is ideal for high volume work, where an extended wear life and a semi-decorative finish are the main criteria; although it is possible to pre and post polish hard chrome to produce an almost mirror finish where minimum friction is required.
